Riddles in the Dark

You can find this rare audio in a four-CD collection of archive recordings of J.R.R. Tolkien reading excerpts from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and his son Christopher reading stories from The Silmarillion.

It is rather amazing to hear J.R.R. Tolkien himself reading, especially as The Hobbit sequence is the Riddles in the Dark chapter featuring Bilbo’s encounter with Gollum.
